I just ate at Fellinis and it was probably one of the worst dining experiences I have ever had in Las Vegas. The waiter was rude, didn’t know how to open a bottle of champagne, and added a 20% tip to the bill after I left. (I saw it on my banking statement the next day, still trying to get the money back from them.) The risotto, if you could call it that was not risotto at all, just some decent rice. My wife got the Gnocchi and it was way under cooked. After the waiter brought it back it was still under cooked. And then he had the nerve to insult her by saying that it was cooked correctly and she probably just didn’t like it. THE WORST DINING EXPERIENCE IN VEGAS!!

Thought we’d use a player’s club coupon discount to eat here but then read the fine print and found out it wasn’t valid. Who cares, this stuff is great! Lasagna was incredible. Costs a bit more than the cafe does although if you’re accustomed to eating at places like Wynn the bill won’t make you blink.

Only thing to be wary of: If you order an entree and are asked “soup or salad,” they aren’t offering you a complimentary, so the answer is “no” unless you’re willing to pony up.

It’s almost impossible to find in the casino, but if you’re here and/or you want to host a party of people for Italian, you could do a lot worse than here.

The Italian restaurant I ate at in the Stratosphere is Fellini’s Ristorante. The room I sat in was the one that had the pictures of the canals all over the walls. I ordered Osso Buco Milanese. This is veal shank braised in a sauce of vegetables and tomatoes until it is almost falling off the bone tender. Served with risotto Milanese. This was the best Italian food I have ever eaten. The service was impecable. The server was very tentive and courteous. I gave a gratuity of about 28%. Yes it was high but well worth it. Most of the time I tip from 15 to 20%. Being in customer service for a NBA franchise customer service is really important. I would strongly recommend this restaurant when anyone comes to the Stratosphere.

This place is incredible. Tucked away in one corner, it is a slice of heaven if you enjoy Italian food, and not just pizza and pasta. While it isn’t exactly cheap, you get what you pay for, the food is top quality and the service is fast and efficient. We ate there twice and never had to wait more than 10 minutes for a table. The antipasto was wonderful! Definitely the best restaurant at the Strat.

A couple of years ago my husband I stumbled on this little restaurant at the Stratosphere because the line for the buffet was waaaaay too long. Boy were we glad! Tucked away to the right of the buffet is a small hallway that takes you to a small retreat with good Italian eats. :) The garlic cheese bread was light and tasty—a wonderful change from most restaurants’ greasy and/or soggy offerings. The Fellini Salad (baby field greens tossed in raspberry vinaigrette, topped with toasted pine nuts & fresh raspberries) boasted probably the best raspberry vinaigrette I’ve tasted in a restaurant setting. Hubby said the lasagne (with Italian sausage in the mix, no less) was wonderful, and I (the vegetarian in the family) had a marvelous penne primavera in a garlic/oil/white wine sauce that was so much better than the usual heavy sauces used in what should be a dainty dish. We were off to a UNLV basketball game and couldn’t sample the desserts, but we certainly will this time around and I’ll be back with an update. :)
